#4There are many valid counterpoints on why you shouldn't trust/use this, but the mere existence of it raises a very valid point and calls Mozilla's BS; why does this fork exist at all if Mozilla supposedly cares about your privacy, security and freedom?

#6I like the idea of LibreWolf, but never understand why it isn’t just a FF profile setting (Eg “Max Privacy = on/off”)

Librewolf has been requested since 2021, but no Debian Developer has volunteered to be responsible for the package: https://bugs.debian.org/981291>
Since the Librewolf developers are providing a .deb package themselves, they could apply to become a Debian Maintainer; i.e. be able to upload that package (and no other packages) directly to Debian.

Use brew.

#10Just yesterday I had noticed that, "Suggestions from sponsors" in the address bar had been turned back on after a recent Firefox update, and then installed Librewolf. I really want to use it as my main browser, but certain use cases such as online banking (at least with my credit union) doesn't seem to work properly, so I re-disabled "Suggestions from sponsors" in Firefox and went on with my day. Seriously, changing user settings with updates is a major dick move and something I'd expect from Microsoft and not Mozilla.
Edit: Turning off the anti-fingerprinting feature in LibreWolf is needed for online banking to work.
